I Went To The Circus! It Was A Grand Spectacle! There Were Lion Tamers Elephants Tigers And Clowns BUT All I Wanted To See Was The Taming Of The Tongue! The Tongue-Tamer Was A Grand Fellow! Personable And Quite Handsome Was He AND The Buildup To His Performance Was Buzzing Everybody!
Step Right Up!
Step Right Up!
See What Is Called An Impossibility!
Our Master Tongue-Tamer
Is Going To Astound
Everybody!
I Was, Of Course, Intrigued - Bible Believer That I Am - To See A Mere Man Tame A Human Tongue - The Impossibilty For According To The Gospel It Had To Be A Scam! AND ... Would You Believe It?! The Master Tongue-Tamer Had That Tongue Doing Curls Licking The Man's Lips AND Poking Him In The Jaw! That Tamed Tongue Even Gave A Flourish AND An Impudent Whirl! AND, THEN ... For The Finale The Tongue-Tamer Wanted That Tongue To Do A Recitation! Yup! 'Tis True!
Mouth Cleared Throat AND That Tongue Did Recite AND If You Were There You Would Understand Why The Tongue-Tamer Turned Sheet White! That Tongue Had No Scruples! That Tongue Had No Shame! That Tongue's Wheels Had No Brake-Pads AND The Tongue-Tamer Is Now Sitting In Jail For That Red-Rag Called Tongue By Men And Women Every Where Proceeded To Unmake The Tongue-Tamer After The Tongue-Tamer Said:
I Control This Creature Called Tongue!
I Hold Him In Check!
This I Emphatically Declare!
Bring Me A Snap Of Gin
And
A Stein Of Beer!
After The Second Swig Of The Shining Snap Glass That Red-Rag Whitewashed The Tongue-Tamer AND The Circus Had To Shut Down Real Fast! Hell's Fire Had Been Kindled AND There Was A Conflagration Grand AND The Local Authorities Soon Had The Tongue-Tamer In Hand For False Advertising For Not Delivery On The Goods For Encouraging The People To Tell The Ear Secrets That The Tongue-Tamer Declared Promised - By Dint Of His Skill - Would Never Be Divulged! If Alcohol Is Your Poison If Gossip Is Your Trade If Snide Remarks Make You Tingle Heads Up! Your Tongue Is Ablaze So Repair Unto The Father In Jesus Christ's Name AND Plead Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit For A Red Rag Exchange!
I Was Walking Behind Jesus He Turned To Me And Asked: What Are Seeking? I Answered Him Saying: Master! And Excitedly Asked: Where Do You Live? His Gentle Face Gazed Upon Me And I Distinctly Heard His Reply: Come And See! Those Words So Deliberately Spoken Were Calling Out To Me! He Could Have Replied: Why Are You Asking? But, Instead He Asked Me To Follow Him ... Freely! Without Fear Or Trepidation! Without Thought Of The Outcome I Walked Faithfully With Him To His Abode Knowing That I Wanted Him To Be My Teacher For His Words Touched My Soul! I Could Have Visited His Home And Quickly Left BUT He Was Drawing Me - I Could Feel The Tug In Chest - And, So I Spent The Best Part Of The Day With Him And, Honestly I Do Tell My Soul Had Found Its Rest! He Spoke To Me! My Heart Did Respond! He Taught Me Plain! I, Indeed, Now Knew Calm And When Time To Go Back To My Reality I Felt So Torn That I Started To Cry! He Touched My Hand Softly! It Felt Like A Passing Gentle Breeze! I Cried Out And Asked Him: Can I Stay With You Forever, Please?! He Said: Yes, But In Spirit For You Can't In Your Earthly Tabernacle Live Here! Be Faithful! Judge Righteous Judgments! If You Have A Loaf Of Bread With Somebody Please Share! And One Day Most Glorious An Incorruptible Tabernacle From Me You Will Wear! Until Then Bless - Don't Curse! Like The Serpent Be Wise But As The Dove You Must Fly! Your Self You Must Deny And You Will Join Me Forever By And By! Plant Good Seed In Your Garden And Water Them Well With The Truth! Shun Evil Companions And Train Up Your Children In Their Youth! Be Not A Man-Pleaser! Keep Your Shoulder To The Gospel Plow! You Will Be Tried In Life's Crucible But I'll Be Always There To Comfort And Guide You And This Beloved Is My Covenant Vow! There Is A Final Test For All Mankind And If You Walk Faithfully And Endure To The End Gracefully At The Judgement Day EVEN If You Had Died You Will Immortal Rise Holy And Fly Through The Sky To The Holy City Where You'll Forever Reside Safe In Mansions That Forever Abide. Believe On Me AND You Will Be Saved! I Felt As Though I Had Already Died And Gone To Heaven! I Walked Away Saying Soon, Soon One Glad Morning My Savior Will Take Me Way Past The Moon I Will With My Own Wings Fly High High Beyond The Known Sky! Heaven Awaits! I Slept With Peace.
It's No Longer Good To Be Good! It's No Longer Bad To Be Bad! It's No Longer Bad To Be Glad To Be Bad BUT Bad To Be Good And Be Glad! It's Bad To Be Glad In Your God-Given Skin! It's Sad When You're Grateful To God For Your Making! You See God Is Not Bright! His Creations Look A Sight! So Recourse Is Your Own Body Remaking! Being Happy To Be Made In The Image Of God Is A Myth According To Goatman The Fraud For God Is Not A Comforting Sight So He Blinds The Sheep People By Making Them Walk In The Light AND Daring To Ask Him "What If?" And "Why Not?" Is Not Met With Heavenly Delight!
Man As A God Is A "Thing!" Loving The Opposite Sex Is Considered A Mere Fling! Doing The Do That Has Been Done Is The Do That Shall Be Done AND God's Vengeance Will Leave Maliciously Evil Men No Place To Hide Or To Run! Will You Do The Do That Honors The Holy God True? Will You Be A Watchman AND Tell The Truth To Your Crew? Will You Stand For The Right Doing Good In The Day AND Not Evil At Night So That You Can Walk With The Redeemed Into The City Of No Night AND Live With The Savior In Blissful Delight?
One Lovely, Lovely Day I Heard Satan Singing A Cheerful Song: "Anything god can do I Can DO Better! Anything god Can Do I Can DO Best!" Fool - Thy Name Is Human Said: "Oh, No, You Can't!" Satan Replied: Oh, Yes, I Can! Oh, Yes, I Can! Oh, Yes I Caa-aaa-ann! AND ... The Fight Was On! NOW ... As Any Bible-Believing Christian Should Know Satan Is An Unremitting Liar To The Umph Degree! Satan Hates Jesus Christ! Satan Hates Humans Because God Loves Them! Satan Wants What God Has! Satan Is A Counterfeiter AND That Is His Star-Card Hence His: "Anything god Can Do I Can DO Better!" I Should Have Known Better Than To Engage With Satan! I Should Have Given Him My Back Told God Satan Was Me About To Attack BUT Noooooo! I Chose To Battle With Him AND I In The Very Process Nearly Lost My Head Life! Literally! Sufficed To Tell You Satan Took Me Through His Alphabet Shopping List In An Attempt To Show Me What He Could "DO" With For Me! I Was Sore ... I Was Sorely TempTED! I Tell You Honestly: Satan Is Sin! Satan Is The Tempter! Satan Knows Humans! Satan Knows How To Make Humans Sin! Satan Customizes Temptation For Humans To Make Humans SIN AGAINST GOD! Because It Makes Satan Happy To Make God Unhappy Sad His Humans! Believe You Me I Yielded To Many Of Satan's Temptations - They Were Off The Chain Pretty ... Hooks - Before I Sat Still Long Enough - Not Just To Hear - To Listen To The Still Small Voice Of God's Holy Spirit Calling Chiding Counselling AND, YES - At The End Of One Of My Base Cock-ups - Comforting Me! I Had Never Stopped Praying! It Was Then That I Learned That Just Because A Person Has Free Will To Do As One Pleases It Does Not Mean That One Should AND That Too Much Sweet Can Turn A Belly Bitter! I Learned - The Hard Way - That "Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout' Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Bambam!" Satan's Calling Card(s) Singly Or In Combination - Depending On The Person Involved - IS
Life Without Limits
Desire Is License
Let No Man Judge You
You Are A God So Go
Do What Thou Wilt
Live Fast - Die Young And Make A Pretty Corpse
AND, STRANGELY ENOUGH Quoting God (But Misapplied):
Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
In All Satan's Interactions With Mankind The Temptations ALL Fall Into Three CateGORIES:
Lust Of The Eyes
Lust Of The Flesh
Pride Of Life
OR, Same Difference
Stomach
Tempting God
False Worship
As Satan Puts It:
SIN Is NOT Really SIN
If You SIN For Your SELF
So SIN To Always Please SELF
For Your SIN Is For Your Own SOUL'S SWEET SATISFACTION!
I Learned That If Eye Appreciates It Mouth Will Eat It Stomach Will Digest It AND Deceitful-Heart Is Well-Pleased! My Body Was Tackled! My Heart Was Tickled! My Soul Was Damned Near Satisfied Unto Death Until I Read:
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
I Knew I Had Done Evil! I Knew I Was Doing Wrong BUT ... Satan Was Singing Melodiously A Melodious AND Enticing Utterly Adorable "Come-Softly-To-Me!" Love Song! Satan's Beat Was Up Tempo! My Feet Were Tapping Away! My Head Was In Tune Bobbing AND My Body ... Ah, My Body ... My Body Was Shaking Shaking Excitedly Excitedly Shaking Away! BUT ... THEN My Teeth Started Rattling! There Was A Great Humming In My Ears! My Heart Started Palpitating AND All Of Me Started Trembling Trembling Trembling In Abject Fear! That Night I Feared Sleeping! At The Dawn I Feared Waking Up! I Knew That This Was The Day Of Decision AND My Stomach Started Throwing Up! My Past Called Yesterday Came Knocking! My Future Called Tomorrow Showed Up AND My Present Called Today Unfolded AND I Knew That My Life Was Well And Truly If-ed Up! IF I Continued With Satan ...! IF I Started Back Seeking For God ...! IF I Chose Not To Make A Decision ...! If None Of This Hadn't Happened At All ...! IF God Hadn't Created Lucifer Or Even The Earth At All! IF Only I Hadn't Engaged Satan! IF Only I Had Not From God Strayed Away! IF Only - The Saddest Words Imaginable The Epitaph Of A Christian Gone Walking Astray! Okay. God, You Are Creator! You Used To Love Me! IF I Pray Will You Still Care?
Child,
There Is No "IF" In My Kingdom!
There Is Also No Halfway!
You Cannot
Be Blessing Me And Blasting With Satan
And
Believe That I Will Permit
You To Kiss Me With That Mouth!
IF You Love Me - Love ME!
IF You Love Satan - Love HIM!
For I AM The All OR Nothing Soul-Lover
And
I Won't Share Your Affections With
The Lying Other!
I AM Calling To You! - COME HOME!
I AM Calling To You! - LEAVE SIN ALONE!
I AM Telling You Plain
Life With Me Is No Bed Of Baubles And Roses
BUT
I AM Always Here
Let Me Make That Really Clear
For What Is My Own
I Keep
And Will Celebrate
On That Day
When They - Having Endured To The End -
Shall Enter Into My Holy Home!
I Turned Away From Satan! I Threw Away My Old Clothes! I Severed All Ties With Companions Of Old For I Was Getting Off The Sin-Drug Cold! I Washed The Dust Of The Street Off My Feet! I Had Communion That Day! I Had Bread And Grape Juice AND Uttered A Truly Simple Pray:
I Choose To Believe In Jesus! I've Never Ever Seen His Face! I've Never Ever Felt His Physical Hand Upon Mine AND I Have Never Ever Visited Him At His Home Place! I Choose To Call Jesus My Savior YET He Has Never Ever Himself Pulled Me Out Of Quicksand! He Has Never Ever Himself Stopped Me From Drowning BUT I Know That When I Am Sinning He - Himself - Is Actually Frowning And Crying! I Am Taking The Walk Of Faith, Friend! That Walk Cannot Be Counted In Dollars And Cents! My Walk Is The Walk Of Conviction In The Promises Of Jesus Christ Via The Holy Spirit That He Promised AND Indeed Sent! The Promises Of Jesus' Birth Life Death AND Resurrection Are Plainly Spelled For Me AND I Choose To Believe The Promisor Is True And Faithful For The Promise Keeper's Note To Me Is Written With Ink Bloody!
